I buy games, but except for I think Call of Duty MW2, I don't think I've ever paid more than £20 for a game. I doubt the average purchase price is £70. Maybe if you limit to people who buy COD and Fifa (or Madden) every year?
- jerlam 1y agoIt's a strange filter. With a single Steam sale, you could buy enough games for the entire year for less than the cost a new, single, full-priced game and would probably have a better experience. If you can wait a year, you can buy that same new game for half off or more. And subscription services like XBox Game Pass make buying games at all seem antiquated.
- robertlagrant 1y agoAgreed, although I think subscriptions are causing problems. I'm glad Steam exists, so PC gaming isn't just at the whim of the latest Microsoft deep-pocketed "strategy".
